On a prominent hill in pastureland. Well-preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 35m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 1.6m) at ESE. A field wall overlies the outer bank from S through W to N. A souterrain (GA106-151001-) lies in the NW quadrant of the interior.
